Map of Tibetan Monasteries - Jokhang Temple and Ramoche Monastery (detail)

西藏寺院位置圖

中國

據藏文古籍《西藏王統記》和《賢者喜筵》的記載,當時文成公主和赤尊公主欲興建拉薩的大昭寺(lha ldan gtsug lag khang)和小昭寺(ra mo che),文成公主勘察地形後,發現西藏的地形如一位魔女仰臥,需建立厭勝寺來鎮壓地魔的肢節,才能確保建寺成功。於是松贊干布(srong btsan sgam po,?~650在位)在西藏各地建立了一批厭勝寺,並在被認為是女魔心臟的拉薩興建大昭寺和小昭寺。
 此圖即根據這一西藏古代傳說繪製,以綠色為底,各色繪出寺院和山巒、河流。女魔仰臥,臉部的眉、眼、鼻、口清楚,雙腳和雙臂彎曲,臀部和腳掌著地。畫面上的寺院分布在各個關節部位,與藏文史籍的記載完全吻合。
 以此傳說故事為題材的作品,在藏傳佛教寺院壁畫和唐卡中時有所見,然在布畫中出現並完整保留下來則非常罕見。
